Estrogen levels while stimming

[nothing2lose]

Interesting update - Just spoke to a nurse at the clinic. My FS is happy to continue on as planned as I have a scan booked on Monday anyway (which will pick up any problems no doubt) but I discovered the concern is the risk of OHSS. The nurse said that levels over 2000 at end of stimming are indicative of over stimulation risk. Every clinic obviously has its own criteria. Anyhoo...Hopefully all will be good.

Thanks everyone for your wonderful replies and best wishes x

HI N2L I had EPU yesterday and had 40 follies (I have polycystic ovaries) and my FS was very happy with my oestregen levels which were at 6,000. He said anything over 10,000 is a concern for him for OHSS

Thanks KMond! I think it's becauseit was only day 5 of stims that they are watching it.

I have this really strong metallic taste in my mouth too It's horrible!

Well done on 40 follies!!! How many eggs did you get??

I have pcos too but I don't respond well to stims for some reason

40 follies wow!

n2l have you recently changed multivitamins? that usually causes a strange taste in my mouth.

No Maruschke, same old vitamins and supplements here!

I have done some research and apparently it is caused by estrogen rising. It's why a lot of women have it in early pregnancy.

I got 11 eggs, 9 were mature and 8 fertilised. Now just gotta get some good looking ones to day 5.

Good luck with the rest of your stimming!

That's great KMond!! You must be thrilled

I am glad my clinic does two day transfers. Not sure I could hold out stresswise until day five!!

Good luck x
